Hyperlipidaemia in patients with Down's syndrome.

Y Nishida, I Akaoka, T Nishizawa

    Atherosclerosis
    |March 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Individuals with Down syndrome (a genetic disorder) show elevated plasma triglyceride levels compared to other individuals with mental retardation. Other plasma lipid levels did not differ significantly between the groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Genetics
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder associated with intellectual disability.
    • Metabolic alterations, including lipid metabolism, are being investigated in individuals with Down syndrome.
    • Understanding lipid profiles in Down syndrome is crucial for assessing associated health risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare plasma lipid levels between individuals with Down syndrome and non-mongoloid mentally retarded individuals.
    • To investigate specific lipid fractions, including triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and free fatty acids.

    Main Methods:

    • Plasma lipid levels were quantified in two groups: 20 individuals with Down syndrome and 16 non-mongoloid mentally retarded individuals.
    • Standard biochemical assays were employed to measure triglyceride, cholesterol, phospholipid, and free fatty acid concentrations.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant elevation in plasma triglyceride levels was observed in the Down syndrome group compared to the control group.
    • No significant differences were found in plasma cholesterol, phospholipid, or free fatty acid levels between the two groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Individuals with Down syndrome exhibit distinct alterations in plasma triglyceride levels compared to other individuals with mental retardation.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the clinical implications of these triglyceride differences in Down syndrome.
